I don't think the change I did before was WebKit specific.  And the  
changes (not committed) to svn-[un]apply only reflect the changes to  
svn-create-patch, but are again not WebKit specific.  These changes  
ensure that patches are created and applied from the root of any SVN  
Repository (which in fact is what git does by default and makes the  
most sense by removing any possible ambiguity or forcing someone to  
know which directory they should apply a patch).  There has been some  
loss of functionality [1], but that can be fixed.

[1] Create a patch without svn-create-patch which contains paths not  
from the repository's root and then attempting to use svn-apply or svn- 
unapply to deal with the patch.

These are the only changes I know of.  If there are any others its  
possible they may be WebKit specific.
